Marigolds in tomato beds

[ESBkevin]

Marigolds amoung the carrots (which are near the onions) to discourage carrot fly. Nasturtium growing up the poles supporting the tomato/cucumber swing type frame. Other flowers dotted about to encourage the polinators. I'm not sure the value of marigolds in the tomato bed oher than looking pretty.
